Hope this is true...

@JYSexton
Just got in touch with one of my old sources inside the Trump Campaign who raised alarms about Russian interference. According to him, "Everyone knows the jig is up."

More from this thread below:

He told me the feeling when Mueller got appointed was that maybe this investigation might end up with a hazy narrative of what happened, but the minute people read the Manafort indictment "the air came out of the balloon."

The feeling inside Trumpland isn't that Trump is desperate, but that he's convinced himself there was no collusion. They've rumored about delusion for awhile, but that seems to be the prevailing opinion now.

Nobody I talked to was engaged in these meetings or negotiations with Russian nationals. They'd always heard these rumors and innuendo and were always suspicious of Manafort, Flynn, et al. The rumors and innuendo, however, have all been reflected in what's made it out.

For a lot of the workers and staffers inside the campaign it's become a paranoid life filled with lawyers. A lot of them who got in to have a job in national politics or a future media gig in "Trump TV" regret having helped Trump and fallen into this.
